Random: Graphic Novels - The Gift That Keeps Giving
Posted January 6, 2007 4:58 PM
Whatever happened to the great comic books and graphic novels that meant so much to us as kids? Did they go away, or did we just outgrow them? The reality is comics have never left, and though they've gone through many manifestations throughout the years, and continue to do so with mobile media, video ipods and web comics, they are here to stay. I recently got my mitts on the new "Cowboys & Aliens" graphic novel published by Platinum Studios and immediately was reminded why so many of our best feature films are born from comics.

Comics offer the wonders of stories through text combined with vibrant imagery and nothing else out there offers that awesome combination that thrills our senses. Cowboys and Aliens is so cool that you can literally see this thing playing out as a feature film as this particular graphic novel is so well illustrated, and the story so simple to think cowboys and Indians in the eighteen hundreds sprinkled with some outer space, alien monsters trying to take over the world thrown in. C&A is the hottest and best selling graphic novel of the past several years, and we can see why. If you're looking to find a gift for your man that fits into the category of the road less traveled, give this graphic novel a shot. You won't be disappointed, and if you are, I'll send some of those freaky green alien monsters over to your house to give you the what for.
